- Workflow: Working on a Team Project
To work on a team project that has been enabled for worksharing, use the following general workflow. - Best Practices: Working on a Team Project
When working on a team project that is enabled for worksharing, use these guidelines to improve productivity and performance. - Create a Local Copy of a Central Model
It is good practice for users to create a local copy of the central model every day. Creating a new local copy ensures a local copy is always on your hard drive each time you begin modifying a project. - Worksets
When you work on a workshared project, you specify an active workset. Each new model element you add to the project is then contained in the active workset. - Editing Elements in Other Worksets
You can edit an element without having ownership of the workset it belongs to. To do this, you borrow the element from the workset. - About Worksets and Editing Requests on the Status Bar
To streamline the process of working on a workshared project, you can use the status bar. The Worksets button and the Active Workset drop-down provide the same functions as the corresponding tools on the Collaborate tab
Manage Collaboration panel. - Worksharing Display Modes
Use worksharing display modes to visually distinguish workshared project elements. - Saving and Reloading Workshared Projects
When working on a workshared project, save your work often, synchronize with the central model at least daily, and Reload Latest to get updates from other users. - About Using Linking Models in Workshared Projects
You can link models in workshared projects and non-workshared projects. - About Linking Server-Based Workshared Models
You can link Revit models located on the same server or on different servers in your Revit Server network into a central model or associated local file. - Manage the Revit Server Accelerator Connection
To improve performance for server-based worksharing, use a Revit Server accelerator to connect to the Revit Server that hosts your central model. - Change Your User Name for a Workshared Project
When worksharing is enabled, unless you change your user name in Revit, the Windows log on user name is used. - Work Offsite and Offline
When working on a workshared project, you can work remotely, provided you have high-speed network access to the central model, or you can transfer your local model to someone with network access. - View Workshared Project History
You can view a list of all the times a workshared project (the central model or a local copy of the central model) was saved and who saved it. - Tagging Elements in Linked Models
When tagging elements in a view of a host model (C), you can also tag elements from linked models (B) and nested models (A). - Using Worksharing with MEP Elements
Worksharing with MEP elements has been improved to enable better collaboration among team members and provide a more consistent experience across Revit.
